“These guidelines are based on not wanting to hurt anyone with more
screening. We need more benefits than risk. Oftentimes, you would have to screen many women to find one breast
cancer. The problem is when you do that, you find more false positives
which leads to more follow-up screenings and no improvement in chances
of survival.”Dr. Marlene Meyers, assistant professor of medicine and director of the
survivorship program at New York University Perlmutter Cancer Center
